An Israeli airstrike targeted Izz al-Din al-Haddad, a senior Hamas military leader, in Gaza City's Rimal neighborhood. The strike, part of Israel's ongoing military operations against Hamas, aimed to neutralize al-Haddad, who is linked to the October 7, 2023, attacks. Israeli officials have not confirmed al-Haddad's fate but express optimism about the operation's success. The attack follows a pattern of Israeli strikes despite a ceasefire agreement.

Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak Criticizes Netanyahu's Iran Strategy as Unrealistic

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak has criticized current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's approach to Iran, describing it as unrealistic. In an interview, Barak referred to a meeting between Netanyahu and U.S. President Trump, where Netanyahu reportedly suggested that military action could lead to the collapse of the Iranian regime. Barak dismissed these claims, arguing that such expectations are far from reality. He highlighted that despite some military achievements, key strategic objectives remain unachieved, with Hezbollah and Hamas still posing significant threats. Barak also warned that Israel's military actions in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria are causing diplomatic friction with regional allies like Egypt and Jordan. He expressed concerns about Netanyahu's rhetoric and the potential for election interference, suggesting that Netanyahu might manipulate events to maintain power.
